Halloween 2009

Landry made it to 1 house and a hayride and she was done :-( Maybe next year.

Dallas Arboretum

Today we took the kids to the Dallas Arboretum to snap a few pictures and try to get a good family pic. We successfully got 2. You'll have to scroll through to find them :-)

Landry is a Skull Witch this year. Scout is the animated character Full Metal Alchemist, and Toby is some scary thing with a pentagram.

The Heard Museum

We took the kids to the Heard Museum last night to Trick or Treat on the Dinosaur Trail. We got a few pics before it got too dark.

Way Back Wednesday (A few hours early)

Terra & Matt's

Wedding in Mexico - May 2005

Wow, this trip was fun. Scout eating 3 plates of gucamole and drinking 2 gallons of pineapple juice on day one - VOMIT on night one. I still feel bad for those housekeepers!

It was also there that Kevin started asking me about diamonds, engagement rings, clarity, size, etc. so I knew something good was coming soon!

Celco Plant Trip

Here are pictures from my travel week in Virginia. Brenda Fiddler from Celanese and Liz Kauffman from Aetna's Allentown office traveled with me.

Boston - Day Four - The End

It was a very early and quick last day to try to get in the last of the things we wanted to do. We accomplished 3 of the 4

First - Go to Harvard to the Harvard Museum of Natural History - CHECK (very pretty there)

Second - Boston Museum of Art - (flew threw it)

Third - Hop the subway back to the North End to eat at a YUMMY Italian Restaurant - CHECK

Fourth - Museum of Science - didn't make it, ran out of time

THE END - Fly home to Dallas FIRST CLASS - Awe

The Encore - Seeing my princess run in to my arms when we got home and woke her up :-)

Boston - Day Three

Let me start by saying, by the middle of day two our feet were dying. By the time we woke up for day three, I thought we both were going to need wheel chairs. Blisters, joints aching, can't move...ARGH

We started our third day in Boston with a tour of the Samuel Adams Brewery. Since I don't drink beer, Brian was officially tipsy drunk by 10:45 in the morning. He drank his samples and mine....man they gave us a lot of free beer. After the tour, he hopped on the subway and headed to the New England Aquarium, the North End to the YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY Italian Bakeries, and then took a Duck Tour.

What is a Duck Tour you ask? It's a land/water tour of Boston in old WWII armoured cars that turn in to boats. It's the things they raided the beaches of Normandy with.

After the tour we ate dinner at the Atlantic Fish Company. This was the dinner Brian was waiting for. He had some type of Lobster....YUCK!! Me, chicken Cesar Salad. I must say though, it was the best salad I've ever had, the homemade dressing was awesome.

Boston - Day Two - Salem, MA

We spent Friday in Salem....no we did not do any of the witch museum tours so I could study my ancestry........The only tour we took was of the HOUSE OF SEVEN GABLES which inspired the novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The rest are pictures of outside the museums, The Memorial to the Salem Witch Trials, the cemetery, the bay, etc.

Mom asked Brian the night before we left why we had to go all the way to MA to learn about witches when there was one so close to home.......HA HA HA HA, very funny.....

We headed back in to Boston for the night and spent the evening at The Faneuil Hall Marketplace where Brian ate seafood at McCormick & Schmick's. He loved it. I had chicken (I know you are all shocked).

Boston - Day One

Boston Day One:

Tour of Fenway Park

Prudential Building Observatory

Red Sox vs. LAA Game (they lost)

Landry and Her Pig Tails

In my first attempt to put Landry's hair in pig tails I succeeded!

Way Back Wednesday

OK, so I was on this kick, then life happened and I forgot. So here is way back Wednesday for Sept 16th.

Here are some pictures from when we went camping at Lake Tenkiller in Oklahoma from Labor Day Weekend 2006. Toby was 9 and Scout was 7. Wow, has time really flown by that fast?

Man I miss having a boat :-(

LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

56 days to the Witching Hour!!

Landry's Last Day at Ms. Vera's

Well, Landry's last day at Ms. Vera's house was Friday. Monday she starts preschool at Heritage. I know it's going to be a huge adjustment for her, but I know it will be good for her. Brian said there was no way he was taking her on the first day because of her crying, but he has to on

Tuesday because I have to fly to Austin for work!

Here are a couple of pics I took of Ms. Vera and Landry on the 14th. It was Ms. Vera's birthday. Here's also a pic of Toby I took on one of his last days of summer.....he worked hard :
